Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 567 - 565: The Eldest Miss Gripped by the Scruff of Fate

Different personalities will inevitably yield different answers when faced with different choices.

Phoenix Academy Maggie was not fighting for Gus, but to defend her own pride.

No matter how mature she usually appeared or how clever her mind was, she was ultimately a sixteen-year-old girl.

For a sixteen-year-old girl, the burning passion in her heart would not allow her to abandon a comrade with whom she'd fought side by side just moments ago, nor to flee in fear of the enemy.

Doing so would shatter the pride she held, and she would never again be able to speak to others with head held high.

"Fine, I'll let you become fodder for evolution."

Griffith raised his right hand, catching Gus's descending greatsword without moving an inch, as though his feet had sprouted tendrils that anchored him to the ground.

At this moment, Phoenix Academy Maggie unleashed wind blades that crackled and smashed into the blood-red armor.

"Hmph."

Griffith let out a mocking chuckle just as the exceedingly tough armor exploded, blood gushing out wildly.

He released Gus's greatsword from his grasp, yet prevented it from falling on his body.

"Ah!" Griffith's scream was accompanied by a terrifying sonic wave, sending both Gus and Phoenix Academy Maggie flying.

"Adam, you actually plotted against me, Demi-Demon!!"

Griffith roared.

His first thought was that those Demi-Demons were disrupting the balance of the original ceremony.

The blood-red large hand began to rupture, and a torrent of blood rained down upon the ruins of Windham like a fountain.

Upon seeing this, Morimoto Chiyoda turned around and slashed her sword.

In an instant, a massive ice sphere as imposing as a black sun hurtled from the sky toward Griffith.

With no chance of winning, Morimoto Chiyoda naturally intended to flee; she was pragmatic.

But with a chance to win, things were different. Morimoto Chiyoda would continue fighting, believing she could seize the chance for victory.

...

The ice sphere plummeted down.

Griffith looked up, spat blood, and the blood shot up like scarlet lightning.

Crack, the massive ice sphere shattered upon impact with the blood, scattering shards of ice.

Phoenix Academy Maggie swiftly clasped her hands, conjuring an invisible gale that transformed the shattered ice into the sharpest weapon, swirling around Griffith like a tornado.

With crackling sounds amidst the rotation, the white tornado was swiftly dyed blood red.

"Ah!"

Within came Griffith's roar as slender tendrils shot forth from below, fusing into a membrane wing like a bat's, shattering the ice storm with a flap.

"You're destroying this world's hope!"

Griffith's scream was bereft of his former elegance and composure, as the blood covering him and the shattered armor rendered him grotesque and revolting.

Seeing this, Morimoto Chiyoda finally understood the ritual's purpose and exclaimed in surprise, "You want to become the Hawk of Light?"

"That's right, by offering sacrifices to the Hand of God, I can evolve into the Hawk of Light and better save this world. I will establish a kingdom of everlasting peace!"

Griffith roared, merging his mangled body with the Hand of God below.

This prospect was the only reason he survived such severe injuries. However, the integrating Demi-Demon Legion within the Hand of God caused severe internal ruptures.

The originally intact Hand of God began to crack continuously, with blood streaming out.

However, Griffith did his utmost to mend the cracks with tendrils.

"I won't let anyone hinder me!"

He glared viciously at the three of them, tendrils extending outward from the surface of the Hand of God, coming together like a monarch's sword sweeping across the distant sky.

Morimoto Chiyoda quickly transformed the ice beneath her into a mountain and advanced to a higher position.

With a swing of his hand, the tendril-formed blade sliced, causing the entire ice mountain to collapse. She countered with her sword, ice-cold air permeating the surroundings.

A series of sharp ice spikes shot from the sky toward Griffith, and propelled by the storm Phoenix Academy Maggie conjured with all her might, the spikes hurled downward at great speed.

Swoosh, crack!

Griffith manipulated the tendrils into whips that danced wildly, shattering every incoming ice spike.

Amidst the shattered ice emerged a black silhouette with glowing red eyes locked onto him.

"Ah!"

Gus let out a husky roar, driving the greatsword into Griffith's shoulder with great force.

Blood spurted like a waterfall, the bleeding so profuse that even an Angel Envoy seemed unusually grotesque.

The tendrils at the wound clung to the surface of the greatsword like teeth, swiftly eroding along the blade toward Gus's hands.

"Gus! You're a nuisance!"

Griffith yelled.

A black-and-white sphere rolled over rapidly, wind surging to reach Phoenix Academy Maggie before anyone else.

Disorderly wind blades dug like a glutton's spoons into ice cream, carving out chunks of flesh and tossing them skyward.

Amidst excruciating pain, Griffith released his erosion on Gus, instead condensing tendrils into longswords to pierce through the chaotic wind, aiming at Phoenix Academy Maggie.

At this crisis, the ice beneath Morimoto Chiyoda transformed into a mountain, propelling her to Phoenix Academy Maggie's side. With a swing of her sword, the freezing air solidified the advancing tendrils.

After a brief pause, Morimoto Chiyoda grabbed Phoenix Academy Maggie by the neck, hurriedly dodging to the side.

Swoosh, the tendrils shattered the ice and thrust forward.

"Hey, let go of me!"

Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't show any joy from being rescued, her limbs flailing in dissatisfaction.

This method of carrying clearly doesn't treat her as a human!!

Super cute...

Morimoto Chiyoda almost wanted to disregard the atmosphere and hug this panda right there, vigorously rubbing her round belly to feel that softness.

The icy blue flames in her eye sockets flickered.

...

While Morimoto Chiyoda was distracted, Griffith didn't pursue, feeling particularly exhausted, as if the power he once had had completely left him at this moment.

It was like an old, wounded lion wandering through the jungle, unable to retaliate against attacks from other predators.

Morimoto Chiyoda promptly suppressed her thoughts, releasing Phoenix Academy Maggie.

Her two short legs quickly kicked forward, and ten wind blades surged ahead.

With a slash, blood splattered, severing the connection between Griffith and the Hand of God.

This action directly caused the massive Hand of God to collapse, a sea of blood rushing outward, carrying chunks of flesh and people towards the outskirts of Windham City, landing on that barren field.

"Griffith!"

With this shout, Gus brought his heavy sword down again, aiming to cleave open the heart.

Griffith shouted, "Gus, what did I do wrong?

All along, whenever you had a problem, you wanted me to come up with the right answer.

This time, I got the answer, so why can't you support me as before?

If I could just become the Hawk of Light, all disasters would end!"

"Griffith, I paid the price for blindly trusting you, now it's your turn."

Gus's eyes, red with fury, now showed only steely determination, and he forcefully drove down, the heavy sword cutting through Griffith's heart.

"Wow!"

Griffith coughed up blood, falling from the sky.

In a daze, he seemed to see a pair of pristine white wings unfurling from the back of the monster covered in black armor.

So, you are the Hawk of Light.

Suddenly a realization dawned on Griffith, reaching out his right hand, at this moment feeling he had fulfilled his mission.

To give birth to the Hawk of Light in this world.

...

Whoosh!

The invisible storm swept Gus and Phoenix Academy Maggie toward the cliff, which was the only place untouched by the blood surge.

"So indifferent, not even carrying me away, is this how you treat your savior?"

Morimoto Chiyoda stepped onto the iceberg, leaping to the edge of the cliff, as the massive iceberg shattered into pieces, drifting downward.

Phoenix Academy Maggie's face turned red, though hidden by fur, "No way, in battle, cooperation is basic combat courtesy, how can you call it a rescue?

I never called for your help!"

"Do you think this kind of excuse is useful?"

Morimoto Chiyoda drew out the tone, intending not to let this pass, but her body suddenly glowed, prompting a change of topic, "Looks like we should go back."

"Oh no, is it okay for me to go back like this?"

Phoenix Academy Maggie raised her chubby paws, still not having lost her beast form.

"Not sure."

Morimoto Chiyoda shook her head, also worried inside, whether returning to her body in this form wouldn't cause any problems.

Could the soul and body harmonize?

But transitioning from here wasn't something they could decide by will.

"Is it okay to leave Gus so injured?"

"We can't concern ourselves with that."

Upon hearing Morimoto Chiyoda's words, she opened her eyes, seeing the warm golden ceiling, then raised her hands, seeing her slender hands, not the chubby paws.

Phoenix Academy Maggie swiftly got up, grabbing at the void, no wind sounded, and even when she jumped up, she couldn't feel the rush of wind as she did in the Different World.

Although she had reverted to human form, the power from the beast form had vanished.

This discovery left Phoenix Academy Maggie somewhat disheartened; she missed the ease of leaping hundreds of meters high in the Different World.

The great battle felt like a dream, yet it wasn't; she could clearly remember the details of the fight.

Fighting in the sky hundreds of meters above the ground, the wind, the ice, oh right, how's Morimoto Chiyoda?

Phoenix Academy Maggie hesitated, then shook her head quickly; what happened to that guy was none of her business.

She picked up the phone on the bedside table; it was already 5:40 am on August 23rd.

She obviously couldn't sleep anymore.

Phoenix Academy Maggie lay back down, pondering, and sent a message to Aozawa, "Aozawa, see if Morimoto is awake."

She wasn't really worried about Morimoto Chiyoda, only concerned that something could happen to him, affecting Aozawa attending Furusawa Kyoichiro's birthday party today, preventing them from meeting.

That's why she sent the message.

Everything was just an excuse to meet Aozawa!
